Fifteen-year-old Saori’s (Shida Mirai) life falls apart when her older brother is arrested for the murder of two children. The media quickly descend on Saori’s family, and the angry mob soon follow as the sensational case turns into national news. Worried about their safety, the police arrange new homes and names for Saori and her family to protect them from the media circus. World-weary detective Katsura (Sato Koichi) ends up becoming the temporary guardian for Saori, a job that he spurns initially. But he soon sees how much the case and media coverage has affected the emotionally traumatized teenager, and how far the tabloids reach.
